درباره این اپیزود
Miriam Lake was terrorized as a little girl by Michael Egan, a coercive controller who groomed the family through charm and love bombing before subjecting Miriam, her siblings, and mother to years of sadistic abuse. Listen as Laura identifies the patterns of behaviour and missed opportunities to safeguard and protect. Together, Laura and Miriam explore:
- The early warning signs and grooming behaviours
- The language of coercive control
- How coercive control creates fear, silence, and compliance within families
- Why victims and survivors struggle to report abuse for years
- The importance of understanding patterns -not isolated incidents
- How systems can fail vulnerable children and survivors
Miriam also speaks about reclaiming her power, raising awareness, and why she is now undertaking a skydive to raise funds for Women’s Aid and support other women and children experiencing abuse. Please donate:
